Jessica Skinner fell into rugby league coaching when she saw the benefits it would bring to her small community in far-western New South Wales.
Now she's one of very few Indigenous women working at the elite level, having spent time coaching the Newcastle Knights NRLW team and the National Indigenous women's squad, and is currently in the UK as the Jillaroos' assistant coach for the Women's Rugby League World Cup.
Although she's accomplished a lot at a personal level, she has also been a driving force behind change for First Nations people and women in her area.
